Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RoyalExpress at 100% against Token Transit's 39%. RoyalExpress also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). Token Transit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (431 vs 26). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
